Church of the Good Shepherd
Location: 331 Lake Ave, Maitland, Florida Built: 1880 Architect: Charles C. Haight Architectural style: Carpenter Gothic Governing body: Private NRHP Reference#: 11000144 Added to NRHP: March 28, 2011 The Church of the Good Shepherd built in 1880 is an historic Episcopal church building located at 331 Lake Avenue in Maitland, Orange County, Florida. Designed by renowned New York architect Charles C. Haight in the Carpenter Gothic style of architecture, it was built largely through the efforts of the Right Reverend Henry Benjamin Whipple, the first bishop of Minnesota, who began wintering in Maitland in the 1870s. Its board and batten walls and lancet windows are typical of Carpenter Gothic architecture, but its belfry centered over the altar area is unusual. The church was consecrated on March 17, 1883, and Bishop Whipple conducted regular services there each winter for the rest of his life. In 1967, a new modern church designed by Nils M. Schweizer was built to complement the original structure, which since then has served as a chapel. On March 28, 2011, the 1880 church was added to the National Register of Historic Places. [1] [2]
